    philb, are you able to post some more close up pictures of the wood handled pistol grip in post 6 off the the gun, please? I was wondering if it was something that the Finns produced as an alternative to the skeleton type pistol grip?

    On Mine, it had the original backplate. That had had the Butt Stock Tubing, with the flat shoulder plate. Cut Off. I simply removed the grips, Cut off the grip retaining plate.
    Made up an original profile 'T' stock assembley, & welded it onto the back plate.

    It now looks as it should, a MK.II Wartime 'Pattern Sten'!

    The only thing left to do (WHEN I have the time!) is to remove the finnish 'Ball' Cocking handle. & turn to profile, similar to a Wartime version cocking handle again.

    Unless of course, anyone on here actually WANTS a Finnishicon Pattern cocking handle. & would do me a straight swap for any Britishicon Wartime Variant?.....
